“
After I learned the C++
basics, I then learned
how to use C++ in
production code from
Meyers' series of
Effective C++ books.
Effective Modern C++
is the most important
how-to book for advice
on key guidelines,
styles, and idioms to use
modern C++ effectively
and well. Don't own it

Coming to grips with C++11 and C++14 is more than a matter of familiarizing
yourself with the features they introduce (e.g., auto type declarations,
move semantics, lambda expressions, and concurrency support). The
challenge is learning to use those features effectively—so that your
software is correct, efficient, maintainable, and portable. That’s where
this practical book comes in. It describes how to write truly great software
using C++11 and C++14—i.e. using modern C++.
Topics include:
■ The pros and cons of braced initialization, noexcept
specications, perfect forwarding, and smart pointer make
functions
■ The relationships among std::m ove, std::forward, rvalue
references, and universal references
■ Techniques for writing clear, correct, eective lambda
expressions
■ How std::at om ic diers from volatile, how each should be
used, and how they relate to C++'s concurrency API
■ How best practices in "old" C++ programming (i.e., C++98)
require revision for software development in modern C++
Effective Modern C++ follows the proven guideline-based, example-driven
format of Scott Meyers' earlier books, but covers entirely new material. It's
essential reading for every modern C++ software developer.
For more than 20 years, Scott Meyers' Effective C++ books (Effective C++, More
Effective C++, and Effective STL) have set the bar for C++ programming guidance.
His clear, engaging explanations of complex technical material have earned him a
worldwide following, keeping him in demand as a trainer, consultant, and confer-
ence presenter. He has a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Brown University.
